I don't remember LG as Lucky Goldstar--just Goldstar. I thought Goldstar was Japanese or European. I knew Hyundai was Korean...I never associated the pronuncation with wanting to sound Japanese....that's just the way it phonetically sounds in English--I automatically pronounced it like that without ever having seen a commercial.

I heard a lot of Americans think Honda and Panasonic are American companies too...so...who really cares?

My dad worked for LG back when it was just Goldstar. We have the 1st Goldstar color TV sitting in our attic. It works too. On a side note, he was the chief electric engineer and his team was the one that wired the Saudi International Airport.
